An Update From Hell
Well, I’ve been at Soton Solent for 4 weeks now, and everything seems to be going good. Which is not a normal situation. My spider senses are tingling *looks around suspiciously*.
It’s quite a nice place here. Of course you get the odd thing or two that catches your eye and makes you do a double-take, but what place doesn’t? I mean, who hasn’t seen a guy in a pig costume wondering the streets at 4pm on a Friday waving at the students? (Whoever decided the university mascot should be a pig should get a medal *rolls eyes*.) And yesterday I got slightly weirded out by a guy in a gorilla costume that was handing out flyers. And of course, we can’t neglect to mention the guy dressed as a set of traffic lights outside Junk.
In true student fashion, my phone has broken itself twice since I got here and now only works some of the time. Neither of these were anything to do with me- the first time it lost signal the second we got here and didn’t get it back for most of a week, and now its saying “message not sent” when I try to text people, when in fact, its sending 3 of every message I’m trying to send and not telling me, which is why I’ve managed to spend £3 on 4 texts. :S
Anyways, the photos from the first week are up on facebook. Luckily, there’s not very many of me in there, as I was the one behind the camera, however, there might be some when my flatmates get the photos off their various phones and cameras. Add me if you’re really that bored and/or desperate for friends. www.facebook.com/spike1790
Student life is fairly easy to adapt to. You’ll be amazed at just how ok-ish Tesco value spaghetti is when it’s on slightly stale bread. Ok, so in the first week we might have let a few loaves go a bit green, but we caught them before they ran off to colonise in Flat B’s bathroom. There’s currently a pint of milk in the fridge that is a little past it’s use by date (when you turn the bottle upside down the milk inside doesn’t move. :S ).
There should be another post in about 16 or 17 days, just because I feel like it and this is a good way of putting off work.
